==The circuit== [[File:Circuit Park Zandvoort from air 2016-08-24.jpg|thumb|Aerial image of the circuit (2016)]] [[File:Circuit Park Zandvoort-1999 vs 1980.svg|thumb|Differences between 1980 and 1999 versions of the circuit]] The circuit gained popularity because of its fast, sweeping corners such as Scheivlak as well as the "Tarzanbocht" (Tarzan corner) hairpin at the end of the start/finish straight. Tarzanbocht is the most famous corner in the circuit. Since there is a camber in the corner, it provides excellent overtaking opportunities. It is possible to pass around the outside as well as the easier inside lane.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.a1gp.com/Circuit/CircuitInfo.aspx?circuitId=9&seasonId=4|title=Circuit Park Zandvoort, The Netherlands|publisher=a1gp.com|date=n.d.|access-date=1 November 2009|archive-date=18 October 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191018172104/http://www.a1gp.com/Default.aspx?circuitId=9&seasonId=4|url-status=dead}}</ref> This corner is reportedly named after a local character who had earned the nickname of [[Tarzan]] and only wanted to give up his vegetable garden in the dunes if the track's designers named a nearby corner after him. On the other hand, many different stories{{which|date=September 2021}} about Tarzan Corner are known.{{Citation needed|date=September 2021}} The circuit design has been modified and altered several times: * 1948–1971: length {{convert|4.193|km|mi|sp=us}} * 1972–1979: length {{convert|4.226|km|mi|sp=us}} * 1980–1989: length {{convert|4.252|km|mi|sp=us}} * 1990–1998: length {{convert|2.526|km|mi|sp=us}} * 1999–2019: length {{convert|4.307|km|mi|sp=us}} * 2020–present: length {{convert|4.259|km|mi|sp=us}} ===Track configurations=== <gallery> File:Circuit Park Zandvoort-1948.svg|Grand Prix Circuit (1948–1971) File:Circuit Park Zandvoort-1973.svg|Grand Prix Circuit (1972–1979) File:Circuit Park Zandvoort-1980.svg|Grand Prix Circuit (1980–1989) File:Circuit Park Zandvoort-1989.svg|Grand Prix Circuit (1990–1998) File:Circuit Park Zandvoort-1999.svg|Grand Prix Circuit (1999–2019) File:Zandvoort Circuit.png|Grand Prix Circuit (2020–present) </gallery> The corners are named as follows (the numbers correspond to the present map, starting at the start/finish line):<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.fia.com/sites/default/files/20220829_official_media_guide_dgp_2022_final.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220831132552/https://www.fia.com/sites/default/files/20220829_official_media_guide_dgp_2022_final.pdf |archive-date=2022-08-31 |url-status=live |title=Formula 1 Heineken Dutch Grand Prix 2022 – Media Kit |publisher=[[Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile]] |access-date=31 August 2022}}</ref> * [[Tarzan]] corner (1) * Gerlach corner (2) * [[John Hugenholtz|Hugenholtz]] corner (3) * Hunserug (4) * Nameless corner (5) * [[Rob Slotemaker|Slotemaker]] corner (6) * Scheivlak (7) * Masters corner (formerly [[Marlboro (cigarette)|Marlboro]] corner) (8) * Nameless corner (formerly [[Renault]] corner) (9) * [[CM (commerce)|CM.com]] corner (formerly the [[Vodafone]] corner) (10) * Hans Ernst corner 1 and Hans Ernst corner 2 (formerly [[Audi S]] corners) (11 + 12) * Nameless corner (formerly [[Kumho Tire|Kumho]] corner) (13) * [[Arie Luyendyk]] corner (formerly Bos Uit corner) (14) The elevation difference is {{convert|8.9|m|ft|abbr=on}}.
